High Performance UltraFlex GeomembraneHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex products are linear low density

polyethylene (LLDPE) geomembranes specifically designed to be

used in the most stringent applications where additional flexibility is

needed.

GSE UltraFlex products are available in a variety of colors such as

green for more aesthetic landfill caps1 and white for a solar reflective

upper surface2. The upper surface, lower surface, or both surfaces can

be textured for use in applications where increased frictional resistance

is required. The bottom surface can be comprised of a conductive layer

to enable liner integrity surveys to be performed following installation

of the liner3.

PREMIUM RAW MATERIALSOnly the finest raw materials are selected for High Performance GSE UltraFlex. GSE

utilizes LLDPE resin that has been specifically engineered for remarkable flexibility.

Rather than using plasticizers or additional fillers to enhance the flexibility, the inherit

structure of LLDPE provides the added flexibility. It is free of any fillers and nonessential

additives to achieve the highest performance possible.

BENEFITS OF LINEAR LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENELinear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)

is specifically designed to provide superior

flexibility. The break elongation and multi-

axial performance of High Performance GSE

UltraFlex is well above the industry standard.

ENGINEERED ANTIOXIDANT PACKAGEHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex

includes a specially engineered

additive package to ensure the

geomembrane maintains its superior

mechanical properties. These

high quality additives are highly

resistant to extraction and will

inhibit geomembrane degradation

due to harsh chemicals, elevated

temperatures, and UV exposure.

UltraFlex is shown in orange ( ) and the industry standard in green ( ).]

OUTSTANDING UV RESISTANCEHigh Performance GSE UltraFlex has

been engineered to have excellent

resistance to UV radiation from the

sun. A well-dispersed premium grade

carbon black is utilized to support

the additional UV protection that is

provided by a smaller particle size of

carbon black. A smaller carbon black

particle provides additional surface

area to increase UV absorption.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

All GSE geomembrane production

involves three levels of quality

assurance. First, raw material suppliers

must comply with GSE specifications

on incoming resin. Before the resin

is unloaded from the railcar, GSE

verifies the raw material test results

that are submitted by our suppliers

by performing selected conformance

tests. The second level of QA occurs

during production. As each roll is

produced, it is electronically monitored

for pinholes. Finally every roll of GSE

product undergoes a rigorous Quality

Assurance program after production

to ensure the mechanical properties

are intact and meet or exceed GSE

quality standards. All GSE laboratories

are certified to meet GAI-LAP

standards.
